(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) “This year, the world observes International Literacy
Day under the theme,“Enhancing Literacy in the Digital Era.” This theme aligns
perfectly with the mission of Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University
(HBMSU) since its establishment, as the University adopted smart learning as
a pioneering model that leverages the latest digital technologies to prepare
generations capable of addressing future challenges, foremost among them

illiteracy in the Arab world.

As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice
President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, affirmed in his book“My

Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence,” that“teaching our children
through traditional methods alone is a new form of illiteracy that has no place in
any society aspiring to join the global race.”

In line with this vision, HBMSU has developed an innovative educational
system rooted in smart transformation and lifelong learning. This model
enables the dissemination of knowledge and empowers individuals to learn
anytime and anywhere, with fewer resources and in less time compared to
traditional approaches.

On this occasion, I call upon policymakers, educational institutions, and

universities to unify efforts and adopt smart learning models, which over the

past decades have proven their effectiveness and leadership over traditional

systems in combating illiteracy and expanding access to education for all.
